Poll of the Day > Is it just me or is 2018 shaping up to be a great year for games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

At least compared to the last few years.

2018 will have:
God of War 4
Shadow of the Colosus remake
Dragon Ball Fighter Z
Dark Siders 3
Monster Hunter World
Far Cry 5
Metro Exodus
Red Dead Redemption 2
Psychonauts 2
Bloodstained
Shenmue 3
Anthem
Spider Man
Fire Emblem Switch
System Shock
Etc.

And these games have a small chance of releasing in 2018:
FF VII Remake Part 1
Kingdom Hearts 3
The Last of Us 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Borderlands 3
Shin Megami Tensei Switch
Etc.

We haven't seen what Nintendo will announce too!

2018 looks so much better than the last half of this year...

Don't forget Metroid 2018
maybe even 2017 if we're lucky

I would bet a large sum of money that FFVII Remake will not be anywhere close to releasing in 2018. That press release where they kept saying: "There are many reasons we are moving this project in house, like quality. A huuuge list of things. Quality is one of those things. Quality is important. Yup. Quality. That's what's important right now. We've got to focus on quality." leads me to believe things were going terribly and the game was in a shit state.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shenmue 3 and Kingdom Hearts 3 came out in 2019 or later either.

Seriously though, 2017 has been so stacked that even if literally nothing came out between now and January 1st it would still have been a strong year. 2018 always looks nicest after/during E3. Things will get bumped, bomb, and disappear altogether and we have no idea if we'll have another gauntlet of GOTY releases like we did at the start of this one.

you forgot crackdown 3

anyways, i'm only interested in spiderman, crackdown, and anthem.

The FFVII Remake team just recently posted an urgent notice within the company asking for more people to help out with the game. This game is not only going to be a piece of shit, but it's a piece of shit people will be waiting years for. It's nowhere even close to ready - and mind you, it's episodic. You're not getting the full game for a LONG time. PLUS, the geniuses at Squeenix HQ decided to put Tetsuya "spend 15 years developing a single game" Nomura in charge of two huge projects at once. Yeah, zero confidence.

Meh. Maybe Fire Emblem looks interesting. I don't really care about the rest of your list.

i've yet to find one person who doesn't think the remake is going to be a pile of shit after having played 15

it's the same battle system

Awesome.
15 was amazing.

Saying it has the same battle system as 15 is one of the least concerning observations about it. The fact that Square-Enix was trying to outsource it and had to put a bullet in that because it was shaping up to be a huge piece of shit should be way more alarming.

Nintendo: "Why not both?"
